In days when Marble (http://www.lightemprador.com) blocks were still carried on ox-drown carts (the 1920s), the Testi family owned two quarries in Sant¡¯Ambrogio di Valpolicella: one of Rosso Verona and (http://maplered.com) the other of Bronzetto Verona. The famous Marble (http://www.lightemprador.com) s were quarried by the Testi family and (http://maplered.com) sold to local and (http://maplered.com) foreign Companies.
